    Hurry up with the stadium. Want to go and enjoy the games but there are no seats. Good little crowd by the road but not comfortable. Congrats to all the players. Soccer is exciting to watch.

      you b****s think you're so skilled. Around the world who are the outstanding football players? Beckham, Maradona (deceased), Messi, Rooney, Ronaldo. You b****s really are not that special. May be more special needs. STOP being racist and confused. Go get some skills not limited to grinding in the bedroom and around town.
